PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

If you think you are beaten, you are;

If you think you dare not, you won't,

If you like to win, but don't think you can,

It's almost a cinch you won't

If you think you'll lose, you're lost;

For out in the world you find,

Success begins with a fellow's will;

It's all in a state of mind.

For many a game is lost

Ere even a play is run,

And many a coward fails

Ere even his work is begun.

Think big and your deed will grow,

Think small and you'll fall behind;

Think that you can and you will,

It's all a state of mind.

If you think you are out-classed, you are;

You've got to think high to rise;

You've got to be sure of yourself before,

you can ever win a prize.

Life battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster man,

But sooner or later, the man who wins

Is the fellow who thinks he can.
